Fazio's Ballistic is one of the finest performing bows I've EVER shot. The limb design is quite possibly the best I've ever seen.
That being said, the two I've owned had VERY delicate limbs, very easily twisted but also easily straightened. I can't say about how his bows have evolved, but I didn't like the finish at all either. Kinda splotchy. But that was YEARS ago, he may have taken care of that now.
It is the fastest recurve that I've ever shot also.
For 300, if you dont buy it I will. Last one I saw on the auction site went for well over 500.00.
